A multi-layer next generation PON prototype has been built and tested, to show the feasibility of extended hybrid DWDM/TDM-XGPON FTTH networks with resilient optically-integrated ring-trees architecture, supporting broadband ...

A network architecture for tree-like passive optical networks (PONs) with high splitting ratios is proposed and experimentally
demonstrated. Splits >1000 are shown to be feasible thanks to a noise-powered amplifier that ...
